Official Title: Prevention of Post Operative Hypoxia in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit Using Pulse Oximetry With Automated Verbal Prompts

Brief Summary: This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an automated voice prompting system on post operative hypoxia within the Postoperative Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). This will be done to detect an improvement of the patient experience and provider care through a decrease in the number of peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) monitor alarms via the patients own ability to follow the instruction and improve their SpO2 levels.
